This is an 8* play on the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Maryland will try to pick up the pieces after getting worked over by by the Buckeyes in their last game. It's not going to be easy, hosting the rough and tumble Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa boasts a Top 20 defense, holding opponents to an average of less than 20 points per game.

It was the Iowa offense that was on full display last week though, as they racked up 207 yards and three TDs on the ground, jumping out to a 28-7 lead in the first quarter. The defense did it's part, picking off Indiana's quarterbacks three times.

The plan was for Iowa to use two quarterbacks, but Jake Rudock had a standout performance throwing for 207 yards and a pair of TDs on 19-27 passing.

Maryland hasn't shown anything to convince me that they should be giving up a handful of points in this game. The Hawkeyes are a strong team on the road, in fact they have covered the spread in eight straight away from home.

Take Iowa.
